Hiking in Pearls

A couple of weeks ago, me and the girls got together for a night of baseball and mysterious creations at chilis..... and brought the boys as well.

Carly (In the middle) had a baby just two weeks before.... Never would have guessed!

The Gap Line strung across the cabin!

So we finally got to go up to the cabin this last weekend (Labor Day) and we had soooo fun! While we were up there, we stopped off at this ADORABLE antique jewelry shop and went crazy! We all bought the most fabulous stuff! (If you are ever in Bear Lake, be sure to ask me where to find this store, you will not be dissapointed!)

On Sunday, we decided to take a hike to Bloomington Lake. It was GORGEOUS!

The Tree Dwellers

I SPY JOSH.....

I SPY JOSH AGAIN...

One part of the hike is crossing this menacing log.

It was scarier than it looks

Josh taking one last spin before heading home...

Trying to catch some of the last rays of the summer. Mission NOT COMPLETED.

A Summer Salute!

Wow, is summer really almost over? It is bitter sweet. Summer is my favorite season of the year, but then I LOVE fall! I thought that I would re-cap the last part of our summer!

Every 24th of July, the Shaws hold an annual snow cone stand at the Days of 47 Parade in SLC.

Josh pushes an ice cream stand around the parade yelling "Big Sticks" while us girls flavored hundreds of yummy refreshing snowcones.

Josh slept here at the park keeping watch over the snowcone stand over night. He looked homeless. I on the other hand, went home and slept in a cozy bed....

We celebrated Cole Bell's 25th birthday at Rodizio. He is 1/4th of the way to 100!

Carly had her baby girl Londyn! She is GORGEOUS! Congrats Carly!

This past weekend, Josh and I decided to take a random trip to New York. I had the week off of work and Josh starts school on Monday so we wanted to do something really exciting considering. We were flying standby and did not make the red-eye flight and we were really sad. Here we were with our bags packed and no where to go....

We looked and there was a flight leaving to San Diego the next day so we decided to try that the next day....

...And so we went to the airport and ...

they were ONE seat short! But then they discovered that passenger, Sandy*, could fly the jump-seat which would make it so we could get on the plane... Wow! So they sent me back to tell Sandy* to fly on the jump seat. That wasn't awkward.

There is nothin like waiting for the PT (Public Transportation)

San Diego!

The REAL DEAL!

Us at Seaport Village

The most amazing kite I had ever seen. The man flying the kite was also flying about 3 other ones at the same time. Unfortunately one kite went out of control and nearly decapitated Josh and I as we were walking by.

Cartwheel on the beach.

Take 1 of cartwheel...

Take 2 of Cartwheel...

The marines running on the beach.

Wow this was a rather motivating plaque that was on the front of our hotel.

Padres Game!

Petco park is amazing!

I just love this picture. He looks like a little boy.

Getting our picture taken by a bleacher patrol man. Little did we know, he would give us "rocks" at the end of the winning game!

"Cheers" for one heck of a trip!
